Technology Bursary Technology Bursary Guidance Notes 2020 About the Bursary The Royal Television Society is working with some of the top companies in the television industry to encourage the most talented Computer Science, Engineering, physics and Mathematics undergraduates to consider a career in television and related media. Competition to recruit highly skilled graduates in these fields is strong, and many may be unaware of the career opportunities that television and adjacent media have to offer. Our Technology Bursary is now in its fifth year. It provides a unique opportunity to get to know more about the world of television whilst studying as well as £1000 a year to support living expenses for the duration of your course. Every year we have also offered bursary students a ‘Summer Tour’ of the industry, with the opportunity to stay for a fortnight in London, spending a day with each of our partners – including STV, Sky, BBC, ITV, Channel 4, YouView, Virgin, Arqiva, and the Institute of Engineering Technology- learning more about their work and opportunities for graduates. Accommodation is provided and students are paid an additional bursary to cover expenses, time and travel. We plan to offer a similar opportunity this year and to future bursary recipients. Our partners are also keen to offer students internships or placements during their studies. Bursary recipients will also benefit from free membership of the Royal Television Society and free affiliate membership of The Hospital Club while studying, and a further one year’s free membership of the Royal Television Society when they graduate. Bursaries are available to new students and students in their first year of study from households with an income of less than £35,000 a year, and a firm offer for one of the subjects listed above. These awards are discretionary. Our panel of industry experts will decide the awards based on their judgement of the students who will most benefit from this investment. They will use the criteria listed below when making their decisions. Please make sure you read these and use them to make your application. There are a limited number of bursaries available, and the decision of the panel is final. Who Can Apply? To be eligible for this award you need to meet all the criteria listed below.

Criteria • Interest in Television Why you are applying for this Bursary – your interest in Television and your thoughts about your future career. We would like to know about your interest in television and media. Please tell us what attracts you to this Bursary scheme, and whether you have any thoughts about a future career in this field. • Academic Achievement and Ability to Study Why we should invest in you – your track record of study and relevant skills Please tell us about any ways in which you have demonstrated your academic ability and commitment to study. This must include GCSE grades (or equivalent), predicted A Level grades (or equivalent), and any success in school or external prizes or competitions.

It is important to us that the bursary and the opportunities provided through membership of the RTS are well used. Please tell us the difference the £1000 a year will make to you and what you aim to do with it. This can be anything from buying a new camera or laptop, or to fund your travel expenses to workshops or courses.

Please tell us about how you would make the most of being a member of the RTS to help you whilst at university and further into the future. • Geographic Spread A UK-wide scheme We will also seek to achieve a spread of awards across a range of different Universities and geographies of the UK. We will try to avoid making a high number of awards at any one University. You don't need to tell us anything about this in your statement, but we may use this criterion to make final decisions between applicants. • Example of your work There is no requirement to submit an example of your work for this bursary. If you do have something which you feel enhances your application in that it demonstrates your enthusiasm for your subject, your future career, or a hobby or interest that is relevant to your application then please attach it or provide a link on your application form. Please submit your application by 30 June 2020. Please remember to attach an example of your work if you have anything that you feel will support your application. What Happens Next? The Royal Television Society will assess applications against the eligibility and short-listing criteria listed within these Guidance Notes. We may contact your referee for further information at this stage. We may also contact you to arrange a short telephone interview. The applications which most strongly meet our criteria as determined by our panel will be awarded the bursaries, subject to confirmation of household income, meeting the conditions of any University offers, and successfully enrolling on your course in autumn 2020 If you are an existing student, we will require confirmation from your University that you successfully completed your first year.

  • Broadcasting: Innovation and Regulation
    Broadcasting: Innovation and Regulation. Lecture by Irwin Stelzer* The Beesley Lectures sponsored by the Institute of Economic Affairs in association with the Regulatory Policy Institute Institute of Directors, London, 23 September 2010. * Director of Economic Policy Studies, the Hudson Institute; columnist for The Sunday Times and The Wall Street Journal. I have in the past or am currently a consultant to several firms with interests in these issues. They include Google, News Corporation, News International, and Sky TV. 1 I approach this assignment with considerable trepidation. For one thing, I have been a consultant in years gone by both to News International and Sky, which might colour my views on some of these issues. I leave it to the audience to decide whether that is the case. For another, I did not anticipate that this lecture would occur on the heels of a rather acrimonious exchange of MacTaggart lectures between James Murdoch, who ran Sky before moving on to a larger stage, and Mark Thompson, the extraordinarily articulate and durable -- he has two MacTaggarts under his belt, a feat it took two generations of Murdochs to match -- advocate for the interests of BBC.1 Finally, I have been in and about Britain for enough years to know that there are two things an American should not do: attack the NHS, and criticise the BBC. Dare to do the former, and risk hearing tales of Americans bleeding to death on hospital steps for lack of a credit card or ready cash. Criticise the BBC, and prepare to be regaled with tales of the disgusting state of American television: one distinguished columnist swears that when he checked into an American hotel all he was able to find on television was pornography -- which should come as a shock to BBC advocates, since BBC is a leading importer of American programming.

  • The Story of Nursing in British Mental Hospitals
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 12:59 29 November 2016 The Story of Nursing in British Mental Hospitals From their beginnings as the asylum attendants of the nineteenth century, mental health nurses have come a long way. This is the first comprehensive history of mental health nursing in Britain in over twenty years, and during this period the landscape has transformed as the large institutions have been replaced by services in the community. McCrae and Nolan examine how the role of mental health nursing has evolved in a social and professional context, brought to life by an abundance of anecdotal accounts. The nine chronologically ordered chapters follow the development from untrained attendants in the pauper lunatic asylums to the professionally qualified nurses of the twentieth century, and, finally, consider the rundown and closure of the mental hospitals from nurses’ perspectives. Throughout, the argument is made that while the training, organisation and environment of mental health nursing has changed, the aim has remained essentially the same: to nurture a therapeutic relationship with people in distress. McCrae and Nolan look forward as well as back, and highlight significant messages for the future of mental health care. For mental health nursing to be meaningfully directed, we must first understand the place from which this field has developed. This scholarly but accessible book is aimed at anyone with an interest in mental health or social history, and will also act as a useful resource for policy- makers, managers and mental health workers. Niall McCrae is a lecturer in mental health nursing at Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing & Midwifery, King’s College London.
